Chilli sweetcorn fritters

How has your week
started? My Monday was fine, possibly better than usual, but I'm now
happy to be able to relax a little with some blog writing. To spice
up your Monday I bring you spicy chilli sweetcorn fritters. They
contain sweetcorn, pepper, chilli and smoked chilli paste with some
seasoning. I used an egg and spelt flour for binding. These fritters
held together very well during the frying and were nice and firm in
the end. I enjoyed them with black bean rice and some chipotle
ketchup. I thought that these were quite nice summer fritters.

Recipe for about 8 fritters

Ingredients

140 g sweetcorn

1 romano pepper

1 green chilli

1 onion

2 garlic cloves

Olive oil

1-2 tsp smoked
chilli paste

Sprinkle of smoked
paprika

Sprinkle of salt

1 egg

3 tbsp spelt flour

Vegetable oil for
frying

Method

Chop the romano
pepper, chilli, onion and garlic finely and quickly fry them in olive
oil until softened.

Mix the sweetcorn,
smoked chilli paste and seasoning in and let cool.

Add the egg and
spelt flour and heat vegetable oil in a pan.

Shape fritters
from the mix and fry them on both sides until golden brown.
